A Little Work A Little Play

I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to attend the Redken Symposium this year. With the help of my parents, Ryan was able to join me. After we arrived at our hotel and registered for my classes we got ready to enjoy a nice dinner. I have been wanting to try out Giada's new restaurant at the Cromwell. It was super delicious and a really nice treat

I loved all the classes I took and it was nice to get away and enjoy some nice relaxing dinners. Thank you mom for staying with the kiddos, we appreciate it so much!

The kids and I all caught the flu that was going around but we felt better just in time for the long weekend. On Saturday I took the girls to my friend Maite's baby shower
